A Media Matters analysis finds that Fox News has aided Republican efforts to make Solyndra the face of clean energy in 2012 by incessantly covering it a year after the company declared bankruptcy. Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets have disproportionately hosted opponents of clean energy to discuss Solyndra, and uncritically repeated allegations that Solyndra's loan guarantee was politically motivated, even though a yearlong investigation has found no evidence to support the "crony capitalism" narrative.
The Associated Press's fact check of President Bill Clinton's DNC speech strained to find statements to check, and at one point attempted to fact-check one of Clinton's accurate assertions by bringing up Monica Lewinsky.
AP reporters Matt Apuzzo and Tom Raum claimed that Clinton repeatedly "cherry-picked facts or mischaracterized the opposition." Here's one of the "cherry-picked facts" or mischaracterizations that they identified:
CLINTON: "[The Romney] campaign pollster said, `We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.' Now that is true. I couldn't have said it better myself - I just hope you remember that every time you see the ad."
This is a direct, verbatim quote from Romney pollster Neil Newhouse as he spoke at an ABC News panel in Tampa last week.
The AP fails to explain how this claim is a "cherry-picked" fact or a mischaracterization of "the opposition," and instead lays out "THE FACTS" this way:
THE FACTS: Clinton, who famously finger-wagged a denial on national television about his sexual relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky and was subsequently impeached in the House on a perjury charge, has had his own uncomfortable moments over telling the truth. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky," Clinton told television viewers. Later, after he was forced to testify to a grand jury, Clinton said his statements were "legally accurate" but also allowed that he "misled people, including even my wife."
That's the entirety of the AP's fact check of that Clinton statement: Clinton accurately quotes a Romney pollster, and AP responds by dredging up the Monica Lewinsky affair.
In his speech at the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney suggested that Barack Obama was unqualified to be president because he didn't have enough experience working in a business. In reporting this claim, media outlets have not noted that Romney selected a vice presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, who has worked almost exclusively in the public sector.
Two recent falsehoods from the Mitt Romney campaign have received media attention: the false claim that President Obama removed the work requirement from welfare, and the false claim that the health care reform bill "cuts" $716 billion from Medicare. While many mainstream media outlets debunked the false claims in much of their coverage, several -- particularly Fox News and The Wall Street Journal -- repeatedly failed to debunk the falsehoods.
In his speech to the Republican National Convention last night, New Jersey governor Chris Christie declared that would-be president Mitt Romney will share "hard truths" with the nation on debt and the economy. "Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to put us back on the path to growth and create good paying private sector jobs again in America. Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to end the torrent of debt that is compromising our future and burying our economy," said Christie.
Christie's praise for Romney was reported by a number of media outlets. Less remarked upon was the fact that Christie's promise of economic "hard truths" from Romney is undercut by the Romney campaign's stated and steadfast refusal to release details of their economic proposals.
Christie's remarks were quoted by the Associated Press as part of his "broad indictment of Democrats." The Los Angeles Times reported: "After detailing his own accomplishments for some time, Christie pivoted to Romney, saying he would 'tell us the hard truths we need to hear to put us back on the path to growth.'" CBS News noted simply that Christie "called on Americans to face the nation's 'hard truths' this November, and embrace a 'new era of truth-telling' when deciding the country's political future."
On Wednesday, scientists announced that melting over the Greenland ice sheet has already "shattered the seasonal record" set in 2010, with four weeks left before the end of the melting season. Scientists say this record melting is driven by rising Arctic temperatures and could have serious consequences for the environment and coastal communities. But the major media outlets are once again failing to report on clear evidence that our climate is changing.
Professor Marco Tedesco, whose research was sponsored by NASA and the National Science Foundation, examined satellite data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and found that Greenland has "experienced extreme melting in nearly every region" this year. He concluded: "With more yet to come in August, this year's overall melting will fall way above the old records. That's a goliath year - the greatest melt since satellite recording began in 1979."
Tedesco looked at the extent and duration of melting to determine the "cumulative melting index," which measures the "strength" of the melting season. The following chart illustrates that by early August, Greenland's melting index was already higher than at any time in the past 30 years:
Tedesco attributed his findings to rising temperatures in the Arctic, noting that accelerated melting and ice sheet thinning are consistent with models of the effects of climate change. But, he added, "the difference is how quickly this seems to be happening."
Scientists say that human-induced climate change made this year's record heat more likely, and project that extreme heat will become more common in the United States. But a Media Matters analysis of media coverage of record-breaking heat in July finds that major television outlets rarely made the connection between heat waves and a changing climate.
A Media Matters analysis of wildfire coverage in July finds that nearly 14 percent of articles and segments mentioned climate change -- over four times more than in previous months.
While numerous factors determine the frequency, severity and cost of wildfires, scientific research indicates that human-induced climate change increases fire risks in parts of the Western U.S. by promoting warmer and drier conditions. Seven of nine fire experts contacted by Media Matters agreed journalists should explain the relationship between climate change and wildfires. But an analysis of recent coverage suggests mainstream media outlets are not up to the task -- only 3 percent of news reports on wildfires in the West mentioned climate change.
Following the announced bankruptcy of Abound Solar, which borrowed about $70 million against a $400 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, the Associated Press is giving oxygen to attacks from Republicans saying the clean energy program shows the Obama administration "wasting taxpayer dollars." While passing along GOP talking points, AP forgot to report these key facts:
1. Abound Solar was one of the few higher-risk loan guarantees. Over 87 percent of the funds for the Department of Energy's 1705 loan guarantee program went to low-risk power generation projects, which are required to secure contracts with power purchasers before receiving a loan guarantee, virtually eliminating the risk of default. Like Solyndra, Abound Solar built solar panels and struggled to compete with Chinese manufacturers.
2. Congress set aside $2.47 billion to cover defaults. For a loan guarantee, the DOE is only on the hook if the company defaults on the loan, and the DOE is not able to recover the funds during the bankruptcy process. Even if all of the higher-risk (non-generation) projects defaulted on the full amount of their loan guarantees and "no assets were to be recovered, the DOE would still have $446 million remaining to cover additional project losses," according to a Bloomberg Government analysis. Here is a chart comparing the amount that Congress budgeted for the 1705 program versus the current losses:
Current losses were measured as $9 million for Beacon Power, $535 million for Solyndra and $60 million for Abound Solar. *Graphic has been updated.
3. Four Indiana Republicans pressed the Energy Department to support Abound. In addition to the four Indiana Republican Congressmen who urged DOE to grant the loan guarantee to Abound, Mitch Daniels supported a tax credit for the company and two major Republican donors were Abound investors.
Carbon dioxide emissions are not just warming up our atmosphere, they're also changing the chemistry of our oceans. This phenomenon is known as ocean acidification, or sometimes as global warming's "evil twin" or the "osteoporosis of the sea." Scientists have warned that it poses a serious threat to ocean life. Yet major American
news outlets covered the Kardashians over 40 times more often than ocean acidification over the past year and a half.
Rising carbon dioxide emissions have caused the oceans to become around 30 percent more acidic since the Industrial Revolution, and if we do not lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, the ocean surface could be up to 150 percent more acidic by 2100. At that level, the shells of some plankton would dissolve, large parts of the ocean would become inhospitable to coral reef growth, and the rapidity of the change could threaten much of the marine food web. According to the National Research Council, the chemical changes are taking place "at an unprecedented rate and magnitude" and are "practically irreversible on a time scale of centuries."
Despite a boom of recent scientific research documenting this threat, there has been a blackout on the topic at most media outlets. Since the end of 2010, ABC, NBC, and Fox News have completely ignored ocean acidification, and the Los Angeles Times, USA TODAY, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, CNN, and CBS have barely mentioned it at all.
Natural gas can help the U.S. transition away from reliance on coal in the near-term if it is produced responsibly. But conservative media have dismissed the risks involved with the rapid spread of natural gas extraction to push for deregulation, attack the Obama administration, and ignore the need for a comprehensive energy policy to transition to renewable energy.
As anti-immigrant legislation has flooded state houses from coast to coast over the past two years -- culminating most notably with the Supreme Court's review of Arizona's controversial SB 1070 -- the nation's print media have given voice to the anti-immigrant special interest groups cheerleading (and in some cases orchestrating) these initiatives. Many of these groups have ties to white nationalist organizations and racists, and at least one has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. These extremist ties have not prevented the nation's most respected newspapers, as well as the Associated Press and Reuters, from citing the institutions as authorities on the immigration debate.
In fact, a Media Matters analysis of news coverage since SB 1070's introduction in January 2010 has discovered that the nation's top five newspapers (New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post), the Associated Press, and Reuters have cited these groups over 250 times. Over that period, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia, among other states, have introduced strict immigration bills that -- by their introduction alone -- have been met with a measure of success.
If print media plays a part in shaping public opinion, isn't it fair to ask whether the normalization of these extremist groups in the pages of America's daily papers has advantaged the ability of anti-immigrant measures to reach fruition?
For details on the methodology and other information in the Media Matters report, click here.
Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070, was introduced in January 2010. Since then, in their coverage of immigration issues America's top five newspapers and the Associated Press and Reuters newswires have cited anti-immigrant organizations with ties to white supremacists and racists -- including one that has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center -- over 250 times.
An Associated Press article about President Obama speaking at a June 14 fundraiser in New York omitted key context to portray Obama as having said that the celebrities in attendance are the "ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes." In fact, Obama said that the attendees and "the American people" are the "tie-breaker" and the "ultimate arbiter" of the country's direction.
Right-wing blogs and Fox News ran wild with the AP's distortion of Obama's comments.
From the AP article:
President Barack Obama soaked in the support, and the campaign cash, of Manhattan's elite entertainers Thursday as his re-election team sought to fill its fundraising coffers.
The president and first lady Michelle Obama made a rare joint fundraising appearance when they visited the home of actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. The intimate dinner banked about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each.
The dinner was the Obama campaign's latest attempt to bank on celebrities for fundraising help in countering the growing donor enthusiasm from Republicans supporting Mitt Romney's presidential bid.
Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation's future.
"You're the tie-breaker," he said. "You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes."
Among the celebrities on hand to hear Obama's remarks were Oscar winner Meryl Streep, fashion designer Michael Kors and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who moderated a private question-and-answer session between the president and the guests. Broderick, who was starring in a Broadway musical, was absent. [emphasis added]
From the White House website's transcript of the event:
In some ways, this election is more important than 2008 -- because in 2008, as much as I disagreed with Mr. McCain, he believed in climate change. He believed in campaign finance reform. He believed in immigration reform. And now what we have is a Republican nominee and a Republican Party that has moved fundamentally away from what used to be a bipartisan consensus about how you build an economy; that has said our entire agenda is based on cutting taxes even more for people who don't need them and weren't asking for them; slashing our commitment to things like education or science or infrastructure or a basic social safety net for seniors and the disabled and the infirm; that wants to gut regulations for polluters or those who are taking advantage of consumers.
So they've got a very specific theory about how you grow the economy. It's not very different from the one that actually got us into this mess in the first place. And what we're going to have to do is to present very clearly to the American people that choice. Because ultimately you guys and the American people, you're the tie-breaker. You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes in. Do we go in a direction where we're all in this together and we share in prosperity, or do we believe that everybody is on their own and we'll see how it plays out? [emphasis added]

OpenSUSE Project Welcomes First Community Elected Board
When polls closed at exactly 12 UTC last Saturday, the openSUSE Project had chosen its first community elected board.
On the openSUSE announcement list, Marco Jung proclaimed the winners: Novell is represented by Henne Vogelsang and Frederico Mena-Quintero with Pascal Bleser and Bryen Yunashko the new non-Novell board members. Chairman of the new board is openSUSE Project Manager, Michael Loeffler, appointed by Novell.
Bleser and Vogelsang received the most votes and so will remain on the board for two years. Yunashko and Mena-Quintero have been elected for one year, hence the next election will take place around the same time next year.
The board will officially lead the Project and will adhere to the openSUSE Guiding Principles. Loeffler, as Chairman, retains a right to veto. Eligible to vote are all openSUSE Project members. Details to the election can be found here. (Novell account necessary).

PATNA: "Land prices in and around Patna have shot up 10-fold or more in the last six-seven years," says a stock broker and former president of Magadh Stock Exchange Association, Suresh Rungta. If that is taken as an indicator of the wealth seeking profitable avenues of investment, one may assume that the state capital would have a vibrant financial services market, with wealth management advisory services having a pride of place in it.
Nilesh, senior manager of a private sector bank here, says, "We do provide such services. Our wealth management advisory services are customer-centric rather than product-centric. We take into account the specific needs and circumstances of customers and our services cover the entire spectrum of asset classes. There is no specific threshold level for rendering our services to customers, which is available in all our branches in the city." Some other banks and local franchisees of national financial services firms (primarily in share broking) also claim to offer such services here.
But some stakeholders whom TOI talked to painted a different picture -- that financial services market, wealth management included, is quite shallow in Patna despite the state registering one of the highest GDP growth in the country in the recent years.
Financial planning and advisory, or wealth management in other words, is not about term deposits, or insurance, or investment in equity, debt instruments, precious metals or realty. It needs taking a holistic view of one's financial goals (like children's education and marriage, buying/constructing a house/flat and retirement planning) and preparing a viable plan to achieve them in the light of one's risk-taking willingness and ability. However, specially trained financial advisors and planners, as in metros and Ahmedabad, are an unheard of tribe here.
What explains this dichotomy? Bihar Industries Association secretary general Sanjay Goenka attributes this to lack of capital formation in the state in the past 20 years or so. "The growth witnessed in recent years is largely on account of government expenditure and real estate boom, contributing about 80 per cent of the gross state domestic product. Money is moving to a handful of people and there is little growth in the overall economy."
According to him, "Dissemination of information with respect to financial services is low in the city. Some insurance brokers from Kolkata and Delhi may have set up business here, but there is no culture of investment in financial instruments. Whatever little interest was generated earlier was lost due to mis-selling of equity, mutual fund and insurance products due to agents' greed of earning fat commissions in the quickest possible time."
Having burnt their fingers, investors have taken to investment in real estate and gold, which have earned maximum returns in recent years, says Goenka. Rungta says, "Too much money is chasing scarce land and other forms of realty. The demand is mostly from financial investors and not by actual users (residential purposes)."
Goenka adds, "The regulatory framework of the country hasn't helped the matters either. While PAN card is a must for investing a single rupee in equity shares or mutual funds, real estate transactions with a threshold limit of above Rs 25 lakh only are reported to the I-T department and no PAN card is required for buying jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh. Therefore, flow of money to the latter two forms of unproductive investment is higher." The high returns delivered by gold post-2008 economic meltdown has added much lustre to this asset class, even though these returns may not be sustained in the near future, he feels. Rungta says that Patnaites have now began to buy gold mutual funds (gold ETFs) rather than physical gold.
A chartered accountant and former director of the Magadh Stock Exchange, R S Agrawal, says, "Few people are availing whatever little professional wealth management services are there. The banks and broking firms lack specially trained personnel for the purpose."
A franchisee of a national broking firm, Pramod Kumar, agrees, "Even banks provide advisory services tailored to their targets. Bank managers ought to be better trained to advise about investment in different asset classes. Sloppy Portfolio Management Services (PMS) have seen investors losing their hard-earned money." Sebi's move raising the bar for PMS to Rs 25 lakh has also been a setback.

Kind of a sequel to my other post "House plants you can't grow. For me I'd have to say Chinese Evergreen, Peace Lily, Jade, Cactus, Thanksgiving Cactus, and ZZ Plant. |

Just about any type of philodendron & Monstera I've tried. Epipremnum aureum is a very easy plant to grow. Dieffenbachia too.

Like CB the easiest plants for me are the ones that can dry out but also I need ones that can tolerate my limey water. Cacti aren't the best because of the low light situation I have here all winter. I have to not water them at all all winter, which is long here, and if I do start watering them before the days get long, then they stretch and look not so hot. But I have a few anyway. Also it can be pretty cold here in my wood heated house in the winter, and hot sometimes in my non air conditioned house in the summer. That said, I can grow African violets pretty easily, although they will take a bloom hiatus in the summer. Also lipstick does okay, although it tends to decline over time. Hoyas are great, and haworthia. I have a lot of Xmas, TC's Easter cacti, and they do okay. Also Oxalis. I have four kinds, and they are one of the most carefree blooming plants. |

We moved from England to NC in 2001 and we love it here.
I have started to take an interest in gardening after I found how well things grow here and how pretty the plants are. I make my parents jealous of the unusual plants that will grow in this climate.
Its like learning all over again as plants have different names and even act differently. And then there are the bugs!!
My dream is to have "Groundforce" come in and landscape the back yard, creating a stream for me, as our yard slopes all over the place! (BBCA)
I have three children, 20, 18 and 12. The youngest two are here in NC with us.

on December 14, 2011I must admit that I went through two separate rounds of kid's parties at this particular anteroom of hell. Child labor laws are not stupid, no matter what Newt Gingrich thinks of them, and if these people are guilty of wholesale violation of them, they should be punished to the full extent of the law. And then, because we are talking about Chuck E. Cheese, where a kid can be a kid, and where a parent can be driven completely insane, these people should be punished far beyond the full extent of the law. I'm not kidding: Nothing more sorely tests my opposition to capital punishment than the thought of the proprietors of this place at my mercy.
This is the reaction of a friend of mine, a good liberal lawyer from Atlanta, who is married to another good liberal lawyer, to this news:
You think it's only an anteroom of hell? We went once in the name of friendship, and stopped on the way home for (her husband) to have a vasectomy.
Why bother? If I recall correctly, you can get one of those with your pizza, performed by a mechanical bear who is simultaneously playing the banjo. Meanwhile, at the next table, a man performs a frontal lobotomy on himself using only a spork.

Name: Zhasha Element: Electricity Titles: Chica, little girl, sister, and the girl with the weapon. Weapons: Tri claw, and Scythe of storms. Backstory:Zhasha grew up in a little village on an Island 40 miles off the east coast of the Island of Mata Nui. She had multiple friends and was know for her looks and charm. she could charm any male on the island into doing what she wanted. When she grew older, the Brotherhood of Makuta took intrest in her ability, and planned on using it for thier own personel gain. When the BoM sent in troops to find her, Zhasha's parents took her to a secret underground cave and inside was a small vessel, more of a pod, that of like the toa mata arrived in. Her parents told her to get in and go far away as possible, she did what she was told and entered the pod, she waived to her parents and the tube was shot out into and under water tunnel so that the Makuta couldn't find her, when she resurfaced 10 miles offshore, she looked out a small window and saw most of her island in flames. She vowed to find the Makuta responsible for this. She soon wept herself to sleep. When she awoke she was on the shore of a beach, but she wasn't sure where. She exited her transport and looked around and wondered where she was. She faintly heard Music coming from the forest just off the beach. So she went to investigate what the source of the music was. When she found the source, it was a small tribe like her own, she thought that the matoran were all abnormally small, so she went to a nearby stream and looked at her reflection. She had grown to the size of a toa! She was so overcome with joy that sparks started to come of off her. She saw the sparks and stopped what she was doing and stopp drop and rolled. What she didn't realize was that she had electric powers. She traveled the forest more untill she came to a great large city. She entered the cities boundaries and went to the nearest market square. She asked a elderly shopsman where she was. He replied and said The island of Kardrak Nui. Le Nui to be exact. So she traveld the city and learned that there were 7 Nui's; Ta-Nui, Le-Nui, Ga-Nui,Ko-nui, Onu-Nui,Po- Nui, and Ra-Nui. She decided, Le-Nui would be her home for the moment. As she walked and gazed upon the tall buildings she ran into someone. "Oh. Sorry" she said. the man she ran into was Evok, a Toa of water. He introduced himself. She explained to him that she was new here and needed some help starting her life. Evok took her by the hand and said, "Come on, let me show ya the sights!" Evok took her all over the large city, explained the history of the city and island. Then he talked about the other toa besides him. Zhasha said she would love to be a toa. Evok thought to himself and said that she should follow him. He took her to an abandoned warehouse in the parts of Downtown Le-Nui. there, he introduced her to the other members of the team, there was Blaze the toa of fire, Chill the toa of ice, Porahka the Toa of stone, Boomer the toa of earth, Deltos the Toa of Air, Evok the toa of water, and devik toa of electricity(and Zhashas future mentor). this was the start of a beautiful relationship with the rest of the toa, battles with the Makuta and Darkhunters, and the epic final duel with the Makuta responsible for the destruction of her home.

The worst thing you'll see on a footy field this year
UPDATE: Marcus Linsen of Western Suburbs was suspended for seven weeks for the incident on Wednesday night. No apology was given by the club or Marcus himself.
Forget Reece Conca or Ty Vickery, this is the worst thing you'll see on a footy field in 2014.
The incident occurred during a Sydney AFL Premier Division match at the Village Green between the UNSW/ES Bulldogs and Western Suburbs.
AFL Sydney released the following statement:
AFL Sydney wishes to advise that a player involved in an incident during the AFL Sydney Premier Division Round 17 match between the UNSW-ES Bulldogs and the Western Suburbs Magpies has been cited, and the matter will be heard by the AFL Sydney tribunal on Wednesday August 20 at 6.30pm.
Marcus Linsen of the Western Suburbs Magpies was cited for striking, following an incident between him and Alexander Thompson of the UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs during the third quarter of the match at the Village Green on Saturday August 16. AFL Sydney acted immediately, citing Linsen on Sunday.
The matter will be dealt with according to the AFL NSW/ACT Tribunal Rules & Guidelines.
No further comment will be made until the matter has been has been heard by the tribunal.
In the video below, skip ahead to 1:36:50 for the full incident. EDIT: Video has been removed.
You'd think #26 might have an early finish to his 2014 season.

Why We Consider Marc Jacobs the Clever Chameleon of Designers
Looking back at Marc Jacobs's catwalk shows, it's not hard to see how much he enjoys taking risks and changing things up. No two collections are ever the same — and whether it's through the use of exaggerated layers, futuristic shapes, nostalgic undertones, or feminine silhouettes, he always delivers an array of fresh, covetable pieces.
We can trace Marc's chameleon tendencies with just a glance at his two-plus decades' worth of design, high-profile accolades, and side projects (read: Louis Vuitton). It's a wonder this man ever sleeps. Click through to see some of his most memorable looks and why there's no stopping this designer.

Banco Itaú CEO Roberto Setúbal is a legend among investors for delivering double digit returns to shareholders throughout his 11 years at the helm.
When Bank of America took a stake in Brazil's second largest private sector bank in May, it cast a clear vote of confidence in the skills of the country's leading bankers, and in particular, Roberto Setúbal, chief executive of Banco Itaú. Thanks to skilled financiers, a number of Brazilian banks have resisted the temptation to sell out to foreigners over the years and locally owned franchises continue to dominate the Brazilian market. "They have good reputations, good products and are very well established," Setúbal states matter-of-factly. "And they were not for sale when foreign banks tried to enter the market. Foreign banks often had to buy second-tier banks." This is no boast. According to Economática, a Brazilian consultancy, Itaú was the most profitable publicly listed bank in the world last year, with return on equity of 35.6%. Other...

They built it. And they came.
Area promoters and event planners ensured that the only thing hotter than the temperatures recently was the entertainment.
Tim McGraw, Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, Train, Huey Lewis, Johnny Lang. (And that doesn't count Paul McCartney in Missoula.)
It's been a great month for music fans in Yellowstone County. If you haven't had anything to do in the past month, you're clearly not trying hard enough.
We've been pretty tough on the entertainment scene here in Billings recently — carping about the shows that other places got, lamenting that there weren't better offerings.
Well, promoters and organizers kind of outdid themselves and, in the process, showed that Billings is the sort of place that supports good entertainment. We — and all of our friends — will show up when the entertainment is quality.
To cap off even better news: The MontanaFair had a brisk pace, hitting the revenue expectations in the first three days of the weeklong event.
A hub of activity
Hats off to the MetraPark folks for what is an amazing effort. The amount of planning and hard work that goes into an event like the fair, which has to have something for everyone, is truly a remarkable feat.
What this all seems to show is that Billings continues to be a hub of activity — not just for Billings and not just for Yellowstone County. It's not that there's anything new about that. Billings has been a regional draw for about as long as it's been around. But, it puts a fine point on the kind of impact that tourism and good entertainment have on our local economy. This isn't just about quality of life for us, good tourism is a way of life.
This should hopefully also cause some folks to take notice of Billings and Yellowstone County again. This is the kind of place that can sell out shows and draw enough people to make it worth the stop.
Quite frankly, these most recent shows are the ghosts of what Billings could and should continue to be. We need to be the place that gets the big names. We can be the kind of place counted on for sell-out crowds and record-breaking attendance, year in, year out.
We believe that these recent great acts are the first of many other positive things to come. We've seen recent positive changes at the Metra, and the Magic City Blues Festival, the Alberta Bair Theatre and many other venues continue to bring in great entertainment.
Hopefully, this wasn't just a great month or an exception. We hope this is the beginning of what will become normal here.

As I age I notice that I do not exercise the way I used to. For one thing, I no longer care as much about the latest fitness trend. I still enjoy the social sports like golf and enjoy swimming, yoga and skiing when I can. The reality is that none of these are consistent. I have never been a runner and quite frankly it hurts my feet, knees and back. So, my regular exercise regimen simply consists of walking almost everyday. I do anywhere from two to five miles.…

Boxing Day used to be a high point for many of us parents. After a year of buying full-price retail items and perhaps getting some items on sale every so often, this one day of the year promised to relieve us from the financial strain of raising children in a modern world. Kids, after all, are expensive.
While the holidays proved to be a high point of the year, let's face it: getting a snowsuit or new running shoes for our children at 60 per cent off was almost too much to bear.…

As moms, we try to do everything we can to create a healthy environment for our families. We try to prepare healthy food as often as possible, keep our homes clean and teach our children the importance of keeping our bodies healthy. Many of us, however, are unknowingly exposing our families to harmful substances. I know that until recently, I paid no attention to what chemicals I was using to run our household. In the past 4 months, I've done a lot of research and once I found out that while…

For the purpose of this list, we assumed that you already have the essential tools (the tongs, the spatula, the basting brushes, the cleaning brush…).

I have had many conversations and read plenty of articles on social media business etiquette and what to discuss on social media outlets that represent your business. Some say, don't mix business with personal because no one cares if you are going through anything. I have also heard the other side that it is nice to show your personal side because everyone wants to know that you are human, but can you sometimes share too much?
My question to the readers – If I am having a…

The prospect of devoting an issue to viruses in Linux launched a lively conversation in our 5000-mile-wide virtual office. We in the media receive a lot of press releases, and some of those press releases are from vendors with anti-virus products. We in the Linux media are supposed to like it when vendors take an interest in Linux. But the problem when it comes to anti-virus vendors is that every product is based on a need, and, in order to establish the need for their Linux virus protection products, the vendors are working overtime to sprinkle their path with ominous warnings that a Linux virus attack is on the way. Many of the old Linux hands have been equally vociferous in their skepticism. "How is a virus going to get into Linux unless you're checking your mail as root?" they say, and they are mostly correct, of course, but still the sound of someone saying "don't worry" always leaves me a little worried.
